Dr. Diane® - Brain Rehabilitation | A Neuropsychologist/Health Psychologist

Brain Rehabilitation

Brain Rehabilitation is an integrative team of experts dedicated to the principle that every individual can achieve optimal rehabilitation for a healthy brain, a sound body, and a strong spirit, through evidence-based assessment of therapeutic interventions.

Brain Rehabilitation takes an integrative team approach to health. Our health practitioners draw from the best practices in conventional and alternative services including neuropsychology, brain mapping, the Tomatis Method®, Physical Therapy, Speech/Language Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, CranioSacral Therapy, Reflexology, Nutrition Education, Water Therapy and Therapeutic Massage.

Based on Dr. Diane's® 5 Prong Approach and using an evidence-based assessment of these therapeutic interventions, we are able to customize your individual rehabilitation program, because we believe each person is unique and one method or treatment does not fit all.

Your Brain
Your brain is a complex, marvelous, unique connection of nerves, blood vessels and tissues. It's texture is similar to custard in a bowl - soft, pliable and slippery. Yet, it is the center of your nervous system and it receives, processes and sends messages to every cell and every part of your body. The information received is from any of our seven senses...sight (Visual), sound (Auditory), touch (Tactile), smell (Olfactory), movement (Kinesthetic), taste (Gustatory) and intuition (Spiritual). The incoming information is initially processed in the protective/reactive (Survival) areas of the brain. These areas work in a reactive mode to help regulate our bodies and keep us safe. The autonomic system, without thought, regulates the beating of our heart to adjusting the temperature in our body to help us to stop in our tracks and freeze in a dangerous situation. The frontal area of our brain allows for decision making and is the responsive, thoughtful part of our brain that acts as the braking system to prevent over reactivity. Thus, for incoming information to move and be processed, integrated then sent out (Response), the brain must function fluidly. When it does, it is called brain regulation. This means that the brain, the vast network of the brain, is flexible, resilient, and self-regulating.

However, when theres is a brain injury, the system becomes dysregulated or, in other words, the brain becomes stuck in specific brainwave patterns. Thus, it no longer is resilient, flexible and often it becomes over-reactive (hyper-arousal - anxiety), when this happens, to protect itself, it shuts down causing (depression, fatigue,, inattentiveness).

The goal of brain rehabilitation is to help regain a resilient brain and mind and return your life to its optimal level.
